NCLEX-RN today

Published

Specializes in OB.

Hi all, I'm new to the site but I just took the NCLEX-RN today and needed some serious support, this looked like a place for that! I took the test today and feel as though I have definately failed. I got 75 questions, and at least 25-30 (it felt like) SATA's! Those are the worst types for me, and what I was dreading. I felt like i knew nothing on this test, I left in tears and have been crying all day. There were med questions I never heard of, and I felt like nothing I studied was on there. I have been studying for months, did Kaplan, and was scoring well by their standards on their QBank and especially QT 6 and 7. I did not think the test was going to be this way, I felt confident like I had studied enough and did all I could, and now I can't believe it. The worst part is I am working as a GN in a position I truly love (OB) and am very upset about having to leave it. The wait is terrible, even though I don't believe I could have passed. I try to think of the best, but don't want to set myself up for disappointment even more. This was the hardest test ever, and I can't believe it's over like this. :sniff:

You may be surprised about how well you did on the test. Recently most people who got 10-30 SATAs on their test passed. Don't worry about the number of SATAs you got on your test. Actually it may play in your favor. Good luck to you and best wishes!

Hie

I had 20-25 SATAs and felt really horrible after my test last week.All i could see was " SATAs are just a format", because i did not want to raise my expectation too high.(MAY BE THEY ARE JUST A FORMAT) . But so far, almost all the people in my class had 15 plus SATAs and my school has a 100% pass rate so far. People that have posted and had 10 plus SATA and 75 questions have had good results. I would say the odds are in your favor.

Dont' be too hard on yourself. Enjoy yourself tomorrow or till you get your results. so far the tide is on your side.

Hope you find this heart warming.

Thanks for all the kind words, it's comforting to know others care! I am supposed to be able to get results in 48 hours with the quick results, but should I check the BON first? I heard sometimes they post sooner (I am in NY). I am working the night shift tonight and tomorrow to occupy my time until Wednesday, but I can't shake the feeling that I failed and have to go through this all over again. Also, does anyone know how long I must wait to re-test in NY?

No harm in checking BON first before you pay for quick results. Hang in there and good luck
